I always pay my bills (well apparently almost always). I usually pay them the day I get them.
I mistakenly missed paying the Car registration fee for our Fiat. It was due August 2023. My bad
. I have no idea how I overlooked this payment. We have technically been driving the car illegally since then. For 7 months!!!!
Get this. It took till 14 March 2024 for the SAAQ (License bureau of Quebec) to write us advising us that payment was not received. In the letter they advise us to stop operating the car as of August 2023.
I fully admit I really screwed this one up. But it is pretty sad when it takes 7 months to send out a notice of an overdue payment. Another example of a well oiled machine run by the government.
